Day 993 of #Russia's three-day bid to take #Kyiv.
The invaders are still mired in #Donetsk, not that far from where they started.

This is my daily thread with all the news, all the time. Please remember how much work goes into this and help if you can:
ko-fi.com/twmcltd
Monday's thread was tough, documenting horrendous attacks on #Kramatorsk #KryvyiRih #Mykolaiv and #Zaporizhzhia as well as attacks on many other places which were foiled.

But also proof of #Russia hitting its own and a happy anniversary. Catch-up here:
Monday saw an all-time record number of invaders' deaths/injuries. Today that number has been smashed.

In the last 24 hours #Russia lost another 1,950 troops says #Ukraine.

Many deaths are in #Kursk where there are suicidal assaults.
Also note 81 APC/APVs and 23 tanks. Image
This time yesterday, #Russia slammed a missile into an apartment block into an apartment block in #KryvyiRih

Last night this woman's body was recovered. In the next couple of hours her three children were also found dead. Father Maksym lost his entire family, murdered by Putin Image
Image

Image
Last night in the thread I reported on #Ukraine's strike on an oil depot in #Belgorod, near the regional border with #Voronezh.

Officials say the usual no damage, no injuries.
These are the only images I've managed to find from locals.

Looting & theft have long been known to be part of life under occupation.

In #Melitopol they seize whole homes.
A woman, now living in #Norway, gave her sister power of attorney at #Russia's embassy in Oslo. The local governor still seized her apartment.
ria-m.tv/news/364525/ji…
The search and rescue operation in #KryvyiRih has been completed.

A mother and her three children have been pronounced dead - the youngest child just 2 months old.

14 others were injured in #Russia's latest outrage. Image
#Ukraine's Emergency workers have freed two people who became trapped in an apartment block in #Zaporizhzhia region.

The building in #Stepnohirsk was badly damaged by an airstrike according to governor Ivan Fedorov, but the rescued residents needed only minor treatment. Image
Image
Image
Residents in #Sumy often spend mornings cleaning up after the latest attack by #Russia.

So it is in #Krasnopil which was shelled with 4 anti-tank rockets. No tanks nor military were near.

No-one was injured, but more home and lives ruined.

Sir @Keir_Starmer doesn't want the #UK to be "hung out to dry" & will make a 'final plea' to Biden to give his blessing to #Ukraine hitting deep inside #Russia

Biden doesn't object to #StormShadows being used but will not back it.

They'll meet at next week's G20 meeting

Britain's PM will also urge Biden to release $20bn for #Ukraine from frozen #Russia funds, before he leaves office.

The Telegraph has a slightly different take, still reporting Downing Street's version to keep the heat off Starmer.

#Taiwan has given a massive boost to #Ukraine's air defence.

Forbes reports the threatened island has donated its surplus HAWK surface-to-air missile batteries to #Kyiv. There could be up to 15 extra systems deployed.

#EATP

It's always important to remember heroes. But in #Chelyabinsk, for some reason women are upset at the memorial for Denys Sinitsyn.

After all, Sinitsyn only raped + killed a woman, gouging out her eyes before she died.

In #Russia all is forgiven if you kill Ukrainians Image

#Russia dropped a 500kg aerial bomb on occupied #Luhansk region.

@Astra_Press reports residents had to hurriedly evacuate when the missile fell next to a residential building in #Almazna on Sunday.

They say it's the 142nd such case of #FriendlyFire Image
Image
The last of #Russia's drones was shot down at 08:15 and we finally have the official stats from #Ukraine

It seems one S-300 missile hit #Kharkiv and Kh-59/69s in #Chernihiv #Sumy and #Kharkiv

110 drones were fired
Shot down: 46
Stopped with EW: 60
Flew to 🇷🇺:2 🇧🇾:1
UAV hits: 1 Image
Occupiers report four injuries in #Horlivka after morning shelling.

#Russia says the centre of the town in #Donetsk region was hit, including this bus.

#RussiansGOHOME #DonetskIsUkraine Image
#Donetsk itself has also been hit this morning.

These photos are from the #Kyivskyi district of the occupied city.

This time #Russia's aviation missed their own troops, who stumbled upon this dropped aerial bomb which didn't explode in occupied #Ukraine.

"What the hell? What are you? This needs to be sorted out" says the invader.
First video of the moment #Russia blew up the dam near #StariTerny in free #Donetsk. Villages downstream of the #Kurakhiv reservoir started to flood. The true extent of the damage is not yet known.

In occupied #Crimea a fuel tanker has exploded.

One person has been injured in the incident in #Simferopol.
Explosions are continuing as emergency workers fight the blaze.

The fascist state excells itself- jailing a 68yo paediatrician for 5.5 years for "fakes" about #Russia's army.

Resembling the Salem witch trials, Nadezhda Buyanova was convicted on a single allegation made behind closed doors

Shouts "shame" and "fascist" as sentence was passed
Image
Image
Image
Purely coincidental of course, the judge who today jailed the highly respected paediatrician, had just been promoted by the Fascist State.

@Sota_Vision found Olga Fedina was elevated to the Moscow City Court just 6 weeks ago.

Two kamikaze drones hit #Kharkiv within an hour.

The Saltiv and now Slobid districts were struck.

There is damage to an 11-storey residential building in Slobid and a
60-year-old woman was injured as a result of the latest hit.

#StopRussia
This is one of the drones which hit #Kharkiv.

The "Molniya-1" UAV struck the Saltiv district.

A 55-year-old woman received shrapnel wounds. Windows in nearby apartment blocks were damaged.

The early indications have been very good from Mark Rutte as the new NATO chief.

"We must do more then just help #Ukraine stay in the game."
That's been my criticism of some countries, esp Germany + USA, for 2 years.

This is fun! #Ukraine's national anthem was heard in one town in occupied #Kherson.

The 124th TRO brigade conducted a unique operation, dropping speakers across #Oleshky.

However, I must add it's not the original sound on the video, so may have been different in reality.
The Occupiers accuse #Ukraine of attacking a high-voltage transformer, leaving 40,000 users in #Zaporizhzhia region in the dark.

The incident happened in #Mykhailivka, which Russia captured in 2022.
#Ukraine has managed to down another of #Russia's attack helicopters with an FPV drone.

The Ka-52 was hit 5 days ago, social media posts show the aircraft commander died, but the navigator survived.

Yuliya Navalnaya's speech in #Portugal today was interrupted by #Ukraine activists.

She and her late husband have both been accused of not supporting Ukraine, which, when she resumed, she flatly denied.
#Sumy region has been hit again.

A number of strikes hit #Shostka, 50km from the border with #Russia. The town now has no power after critical infrastructure was hit.

#SaveUkraine Image
Fewer drones attacking #Ukraine tonight, at least so far.

Currently just under 20 UAVs are scattered around #Ukraine.
Explosions in #Zaporizhzhia.
Alarms were sounding recently for danger from both drones and aerial bombs.

A former US serviceman who leaked military documents has been given a 15 year jail sentence.

Slowly, the numbers of #Russia's flying mopeds are being whittled down.

About 10-12 remain now, most in the east, drifting westwards.

That's all for today's 🧵
I'll grab some sleep - please join me again in the morning.

It's Day 1451 of the attempt to wipe Ukraine off the map/

Russian athletes compete at the #WinterOlympics while a Ukrainian athlete is in court right now trying to overturn his ban.

This is THE daily thread. Facts not fabrication. Proof not propaganda. Every single day.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread, for those playing catch-up.

A day dominated by the IOC's own goal, but more, regular attacks by Russia day and night.

Another tragedy/massacre in Ukraine, with at least four civilians killed in another Russian airstrike.

It happened in Kramatorsk in free Donetsk.
Three of those killed were under 21 years of age, the other victim was in his 60s.

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image

It's Monday, the second day of the 2nd month.
Day 1440 of Russia's illegal full invasion of its sovereign neighbour.

As we approach another round of "peace talks", Russia seems to be preparing by committing an ever growing number of sickening war crimes.

This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday was one of those days when I was repeatedly sickened by the actions of the monsters from Moscow.

The "energy truce" broken by attacking a bus of civilian miners heading to work. A medical building inc. a maternity unit hit, and more
Review here
Monday is a day of mourning in Dnipropetrovsk region following the deliberate targeting of a bus in the small town of Ternivka, near Pavlohrad.

16 people were killed. Another 14 are in hospital, seven of whom are in a serious condition.

Saturday 27 December 2025 is Day 1403 of Russia's war of choice.

The day began with missile attacks on Ukraine shortly after midnight and the terrorism continued with drone strikes, may into residential areas, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of the damage.

Here's THE daily thread
Here's the link to yesterday's thread, which started with Russian murders, missiles on streets in Kharkiv and ended with the missile attack on Kyiv.

But there were also 'direct sanctions' taken by Ukraine on war criminals and military targets:

News is still coming in from Kyiv especially after the awful bombardment. Mayor of the city, @Vitaliy_Klychko has just issued an update saying 28 people have been injured, with 13 hospitalised

Although the city's had the air raid warning lifted, it's still affecting Kyiv region Image

Christmas Eve is another milestone as we mark the latest 100 days of war

Yes, it's Day 1400 of Ukraine's fight for its existence.
Coming up:
Zelenskyy accepts peace plan but are we really nearer peace?
A twist in Moscow's 2nd car bomb in 24 hours.
And all the news yet to happen
A very late start today - I apologise but it's Christmas time with things to do, places to go and also my body demanding enough sleep to survive!

So we start as usual with the throwback to yesterday for you to catch up, which included car bomb #2..

The seemingly random attack on police officers in Moscow last night, may have been a Ukraine targeted attack.

Two "traffic officers" died overnight on the same street where a Lt Gen was eliminated the day before.
Now it's reported the dead were in Ukraine and tortured civilians Image
